Ancient Manuscript Leaf

[109 x 75 mm. Approx 4.35" x 3". ]

Handwritten in, a cross between Textura and Rotunda scripts--both used during the XII and XIII centuries for liturgical manuscripts and Summa (learned manuscripts etc) respectively. Written on vellum in black ink and highlighted with red and blue smaller capitals and one large Gold illuminated capital L, decorated with purple loops and embellishment. Colors still bright and gold looks fantastic. Edges have some darkening, and the center remains bright white and looks amazing. Verso has some smudged areas from the red ink.
